From the Minnesota Braille and Talking Book Library (MBTBL):
The MBTBL recently began a recording program for all ages focusing on recording materials (fiction or non-fiction) by Minnesota authors, or about Minnesota in subject or location.
We are proud to announce that we just recorded our first digital talking book, Winter Bees and Other Poems of the Cold by Joyce Sidman, illustrated by Rick Allen. Narrated by Donald Scheel at the recording studio in Faribault, it pairs poetry with factual sidebars to illustrate how animals survive the bitter cold of winter. Winter Bees (DBC09971) is now available to eligible MBTBL patrons statewide on cartridge by mail or nationally via download through Minnesota BARD.
For more information about the library or its recording program, please contact Catherine Durivage (507-384-6860) or if you or someone you know is interested in volunteer recording opportunities, contact Etta Thornburg (507-684-6865).
